DATE : October 11, 2007
SUBJECT : NAC Huntington Beach Swim .. NEW DATE ..
TO : All Naturists and other interested individuals

Dear Naturist,

Because of a scheduling conflict, the Naturist Action Committee announces that the date of the NAC Huntington Beach Swim has been changed to Saturday, November 3, 2007.

The nude event in the municipally owned Huntington Beach City Gym had originally been scheduled for a week earlier on October 27. The new date should allow a greater number of naturists to participate. Responding to popular demand, we've also extended the event for an additional hour.

Essential information is repeated below, along with the date revision and a few clarifications.

YES, IT'S A LEGAL NUDE SWIM

NAC has rented the Huntington Beach City Gym from the City for this activity. NAC made the application and paid the fee, making certain at each step of the way that City bureaucrats understand this will be a nude swim.

WHEN : Saturday, November 3, 2007. 5:00 PM TO 8:00 PM
WHERE: Huntington Beach City Gym,
1600 Palm Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA
WHO : This is a family friendly nude swim, open to naturists of all
ages. Naturists and their guests are welcome.
FEE : $10 each, at the door.

ADMITTANCE: This is a private use of a public facility. The event is intended for naturists and is not open to the general public. There is no specific club or organization membership prerequisite, but if you are attending as an unaffiliated naturist, you may be asked for a naturist reference who can vouch for you.

Please bring a driver's license or other appropriate photo ID.

POLICIES: This is a nude event. Please use standard naturist etiquette. No cameras allowed. An official photographer will be taking a few photographs for NAC and for The Naturist Society's N magazine, but you may ask to be excluded from the pictures, if you wish.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO HELP

NAC is looking for volunteers to help prepare the facility and take a shift at the door on the day of the event. If you'd like to help, please contact NAC board member Allen Baylis by phone: (714) 962-0915 or by e-mail: rab@baylislaw.com

MORE INFORMATION

NAC is not typically in the business of conducting recreational activities, but this event is not only a couple of hours of fun. It's important as a "proof of concept." As a demonstration of what naturists can do when they work with local governments, it follows in the pattern of the successful NAC Seattle Swims, a series of six monthly swims in municipal pools that began in Seattle a year ago.

Although NAC vigorously opposed the recent Huntington Beach anti-nudity ordinance and greatly regrets its adoption by the City Council, this event is NOT a protest. It's a nude swim. Come out and enjoy it!

Is Naturism getting older?

I just received the latest issues of "N" Magazine from the Naturist Society, and "Going Natural", the magazine of the Federation of Canadian Nudists (FCN).

I truly enjoy reading both magazines (although I just can't read the French articles in "Going Natural", but...

There are no pictures of people under 45.

Both magazines had news articles on the World Nude Bike Ride, which featured mostly college students riding nude in a protest ride, but none of them were nudists or naturist.

The only photos were of people my age... old.

I'm not trying to promote age discrimination here, but if naturism is going to attract a new crowd, then we have to show that the new crowd is out there enjoying being naked.

Am I wrong here? You tell me.

Welcome to the CO Digest Blog

Welcome to the CO Digest Blog. Although we ceased publication of the CO Digest nearly a year ago, there seems to be a void in the naturist community.

So, we are going to use this blog to disseminate naturist information to you.

Thanks for your support over these many years.
